You should be able to remove those two bits of stuff from the teeth of the obverse.  Use something natural, like a thorn from a rose bush, or a spike from a hawthorn tree.

Looks to be a good quality 1937 proof set.  Nice toning on the bronze and just a few hairlines here and there.

All very very nice Craigy. Like you, I love the rainbow toning on the penny and the half penny is going that way too.

bought the coins separate, some come from the same lot, have looked at buying a whole set in the case but not all the coins are always nice or look like they belong to the same set

actually those 1937's did come from the same set, the crown and half crown were nice but couln't afford them, the set came from the states via ireland, coins from the us always last better cause of the climate

have been using the lighthouse everslab but find the if thinner and smaller coins tend to twist in the insert, i use the coin gallery to buy capsules cause they send out the product in the proper box, ones i've used on ebay buy them in bulk and chuck them in separate in a bag, not a fan of that,   been looking at airtites but they have to be shipped in as i'm yet to find a dealer who stocks them in the uk

is it the same person lol, haha, never knew that :rolleyes:   

yes i use him for my capsules with the foam inserts, his postage time is unrivaled, you can order 5 capsules at half 4 in the afternoon and they'll be there in the morning first thing, free postage too, worth ordering from him just to see that lol
